then the Principal Organisation shall give written notice of such acquisition or creation to the Company as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the date of such acquisition or creation, together with such information as the Company may require. If the Principal Organisation fails to give such notice within the time specified in the preceding sentence, coverage for such acquired or created organisation and the Insured Persons in relation thereto shall terminate with respect to Claims first made more than sixty (60) days after such acquisition or creation.

XIV. NON AVOIDANCE With respect to the Liability Coverage Section only: The Proposal shall be construed as a separate proposal for coverage for each Insured. No statement, representation or information provided in the Proposal by an Insured or knowledge possessed by such Insured shall be imputed to any other Insured for the purpose of determining if coverage is available under the relevant Coverage Section.

All loss resulting from a single act or any number of acts of the same Employee or Third Party, and all loss whether such act or acts occurred before or during the Policy Period, will be treated as a single loss and the applicable Limit of Liability will apply, subject to Section IV, Discovery and Liability for Prior Losses.
